Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
Oscar Wilde

The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me.

They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?

Oscar Wilde
Image
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.
Oscar Wilde

The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
